Compare · Centr alternative
A Centr alternative built by a trainer you can message.
Centr is a celebrity’s programme, beautifully made. VeraForma is one trainer’s method, and he answers his own support mail.
The one question
Does it ever look at you?
Centr is Chris Hemsworth’s training, meals and mindfulness app. On 13 October 2026 we read its own US App Store description, word for word, and counted. The word “camera” appears zero times. So we put the simple question to it: when you train, who is watching the set?
Centr: Nobody.
Measured on 13 October 2026, Centr’s own App Store description does not use the words “camera”, “form” or “video” at all.
VeraForma: your phone camera, during the set, drawing the measured angle on your body — and a NASM Master Trainer who settles it if you think the camera got a rep wrong.
VeraForma beside Centr, row by row.
Every Centr cell is from its own US App Store listing, read on 13 October 2026. “Not found” means it is not in what that company wrote about its own app — not that the feature cannot exist.

Before you switch
What Centr does better than us.
Production. Centr’s food photography, its video and its roster of trainers are in a different league to anything we will make.
If the thing that gets you training is a programme that feels like a premium product, Centr earns its money. VeraForma trades the gloss for a camera and a named trainer on the other end.
And the limit of this page, stated plainly: we counted a word in a store listing. A company leaving “camera” out of its own description is not proof it has no camera feature — it is proof of what it chose to lead with. The listing we counted is linked below so you can check it in one tap, and if Centr ships a camera coach tomorrow this page is wrong the next day. That is why it carries a date.
